1. Team Offense: 60 and “60 Go”

2. 60 and “60 Go”: Level of Play The 60 set is used to settle the ball after a clear or turnover if a quick transition is not available. It allows us to substitute players, rest the defense and kill the clock. 60 Go will start the offense into motion and end up in a different set. In this presentation we will show moving from 60 to the 2-3-1 set. Level of Play

3. 60 and “60 Go”: Set Up This is a circle offense, meaning that no player starts on the crease. All six offensive players line up around the perimeter. A2 starts directly behind the goal at “X”, while A1 and A3 line up on the low right and left wings respectively. A1 and A3 should be about 2-4 yards above GLE and around 10-13 yards to the side of the goal… Set Up

4. 60 and “60 Go”: Set Up Midfielders, M1, M2 and M3 line up near the top of the box around 15-20 yards away from the goal. M2 starts in the middle of the field, 5-10 yards above the restraining line (mirroring A2 at “X”) and M1 and M3 set up approximately 10 yards to his right and left along the restraining line. Set Up (Continued)

6. 60 and “60 Go”: Execution 60 is a circle offense. We begin our offense with a 60 call so the offense can get organized, substitute players and slow down the pace of the game when no transition is immediately available. It can also be used to shorten the length of the game by minimizing the number of possessions… Execution

7. 60 and “60 Go”: Execution Both coaches and players should recognize game situations that dictate the need for a 60 call. The defense can also call it to the offense so they can get a rest when needed. While in 60, the offense should get the ball “around” the perimeter so every player touches the ball. The offense does not attack the goal unless directed by a coach, a play is called or pressure dictates the need. Execution (Continued)

8. 60 and “60 Go” When set up in a 60 set, coaches have the option to immediately attack without setting up in a specific offense. This is called 60 “Go”. 60 “Go” can also be called by players on the field if there is pressure on either the ball or the adjacent pass. If Pressured…60 “Go”

10. 60 and “60 Go”: Execution The offense takes advantage of a defense that does not cover a circle well. The offense can be initiated from one of the high-wings (M1 or M2), from one of the low-wings (A1 or A3) and from “X” (A2). Execution

11. 60 and “60 Go”: Execution High Wing A1 will pass the ball to M1 and cut through looking for “Give N Go” as M1 dodges down alley. If A1’s defender slides and there isn’t a second slide then he should be open for a feed. If not open he continues cutting through crisscrossing with A3 and drifts to far wing. A3 will look for feed then set up low far pipe. M2 will cut into the crease then circle back and pick for M3. This motion will create space for a dodge and put pressure on the defense. A2 needs to roll over to ball- side to provide an outlet for the ball carrier….. Execution High-Wing (M1 or M2)

12. 60 and “60 Go”: Execution High Wing M3 cuts off M2 pick into the crease as A3 drifts to “X”. We are now in our “13” set. (2-3-1). M1 should move the ball to M2 to pressure the backside of the defense. If M2 does get the pass, he can immediately dodge backside to shoot or feed. A1 will cut through to far post rotating the Attackmen and creating space. Crease M3 pops up wing side as M1 follows M2 to the top and to receive throwback pass. Execution From High Wing Continued

15. 60 and “60 Go”: Execution From X When A2 dodges from behind, the ball-side midfielder (M1) and attackman (A1) will to cut through creating space and looking for feed. If A1’s man slides and there isn’t a second slide, then A1 will be open for a feed on the crease. A3 needs to get to the back side pipe because if his man slides to A1 and there is no second slide then he will be open. If he does not get pass, he drifts behind the goal to serve as an outlet… Execution From X (A2)

16. 60 and “60 Go”: Execution From X M2 will rotate to M1’s spot. M1 will pick for M3. M3 will cut off pick to crease and look for feed. If no one is open for a pass, A2 has the option to turn the corner and shoot, feed to the rotating topside Midfielder for a shot or roll away from pressure to his outlet A3. We are now in our 2-3-1 set. Execution From X (A2) Continued

19. 60 and “60 Go”: Final Thoughts It’s important to remember that 60 is a settled offense designed to set up the offense or slow the game down. If we are in 60, then we are essentially in a holding pattern. 60 “Go” is goal attacking offense set in motion by the Coach, players or if the defense is pressuring. In both the midfield and attack initiated 60 “Go” sets, the offense ends up in a 2-3-1 set or what we will be calling our “13” set. Final Thoughts on 60 and 60 “Go”
